PAST: SACRED CIRCLE: "Open Spirit Circle" at the Seekers Church in Takoma, right across from the Metro, this SAT, Jan 25th from 8:00pm - 11:00pm, All ages, by donation, $10 requested

This event is being organized by some really sweet people, including my friends Beth and Rolande. It used to take place every month but now is not as frequent so if you're interested. I encourage you to come on out!

From the invite: "As the wheel of the seasons change, we find ourselves getting closer to winter and closer to the change of year. In January we will gather to drum, dance, chant, sing, celebrate in community. Please join us to keep the fire in our hearts alive through drumming and dancing in sacred space during the colder months."

About the event: Open Spirit Circles are a safe sacred space in which we express ourselves through drumming, dance, chant, trance, and song. The circles are held indoors around a fire pot, in a space that we collectively turn into sacred space. These circles were formed as a way to keep the magic of the summer outdoor fire circles alive and continuing through the winter months. Please feel free to bring your drums, rattles and shakers, Native American flutes and any sacred items you would like to place on any of the 5 altars around the circle. Dancing and hanging out is also welcome. If you'd like to come early to help decorate and set up, set up starts at 5:00pm. Please also remember to bring your own water bottle. There will be some extra drums for those who don't have a drum.
